Have you ever noticed how clever some crows seem to be? I have seen some of them in my neighborhood make some remarkably clever moves, including two or three of them ganging up together to chase a squirrel. I do not think they even cared if they caught the squirrel or not, but it appeared like they only wanted to antagonize the poor thing.

The crow in our first video is just that sort of sociopathic creature that wants to create misery for others:

Yep! That is the kind of crow I’m talking about. The dog, whose name is Nero BTW, thought that the crow would go away if Nero ignored him. No such luck, Nero. This crow is a troublemaker, and once Nero goes home, the crow will find some other prey to pick on. He is just that sort of creature.

The second video also presents us with another predator type who wants to create mischief for other animals, but this naive kitty does not realize how quickly his role as predator might be reversed and suddenly he has become the prey.

That is one unworldly putty-tat. One swipe of the that gator’s huge tail or a twist of those vicious jaws and it’s sayonara Miss Kitty Cat.

Perhaps the photographer in this vid does not care too much about his cat. Why else would he let the creature put itself in harm’s way, unless he was secretly hoping he might get a video for YouTube in which a gator swallows a cat in one gulp?

A video like that just might go viral in a hurry creating a windfall of cash for a videographer participating in YouTube’s ad program. Yep! Methinks there is both motive and method to that madness.

Emme, a nursing mother cat took in and adopted a homeless baby squirrel that Emme’s owner placed in with the rest of her litter. The squirrel, which was named Rocky, was nursed by Emme who apparently did not care that the latest addition to its family of kittens was really a squirrel.

In fact, Emme has treated Rocky just the same as the rest of the litter, grabbing young Rocky and dragging him back if he strayed too far from home, for example.

At this point young Rocky does not understand the difference between the rest of the litter and himself. As far as Rocky is concerned, he is just one more cat, one who has learned to purr just like all of the other kittens in the litter.

The question remains if Rocky will remain as welcome as he currently is with his adopted family as he grows older. Only time will tell.

A woman outside a school in Coventry, England, is caught by closed circuit TV casually tossing a cat into a trash bin when she apparently thought no one was looking.

The international uproar to the incident has been so loud that UK police have been forced to provide police protection for the woman.

“I don’t know what the fuss is about, it’s just a cat.”

Bank Worker Mary Bale told The Sun newspaper, “I really don’t see what everyone is getting so excited about – it’s just a cat. I was walking home from work and saw this cat wander out in front of me.

“I was playing with it, stroking it and listening to it purr as it stood on a garden wall. It was very friendly.

“I don’t know what came over me, but I suddenly thought it would be funny to put it in the wheelie bin, which was right beside me.

“I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought it would be trapped. I expected it to wriggle out of the bin.”

“To think this video is being seen around the world is unbelievable. I’m a very private person and don’t want to upset any members of my family. I don’t know what my relatives will think, but to be honest I think everyone’s overreacting a bit.

“OK, I shouldn’t have done it – but it’s just a cat at the end of the day. I don’t think I deserve to be hated by people all over the world, it was just a split second of madness.

“Cats are good climbers and I assumed it would just scramble out through the lid and go on its way.”

Bale, who works as a customer services assistant at the Royal Bank of Scotland, is now in danger on losing her job over the incident. Said Bale, “I’ve had my boss ringing to ask me what’s going on, and I’ve had to talk to the bank’s security people about what to do if people who think I hurt the cat try to find me.

“Everything has gone crazy because of a stupid spur-of-the- moment thing I did – but I know I only have myself to blame.

“I wish I’d never set eyes on the cat. But what I’m really worried about at the moment is my father who is not very well in hospital.”

As far as criminal complaints, a West Midlands Police spokesman said: “The RSPCA is leading an investigation and will interview the woman shortly.

“Coventry Police are supporting this investigation and urge the public to leave the matter to be dealt with correctly by the authorities. The woman has not been arrested because she has not committed a criminal offence.”

Cats dominate today’s post starting with one cool kitty and a jealous slap happy cat not afraid to voice its opinion. Hopefully you will have stronger feelings about our feline presentation than the rather sleepy and languid cat above who appears to live in the lap of luxury.

It must be nice.

Despite the tone set by one apathetic Angie above we boldly begin our first video with one kool kat, Joe Cool in fact. Joe is the Cat in the Hat and is so cool that he seems to assume that others share his rather high opinion of his coolness.

The envious Beedow obviously does not agree and tries slapping Joe into next year.

Let’s have a look:

That is a very catty maneuver by olde Beedow, and it appears that she just cannot handle a really cool cat. The Cat in the Hat, Joe Cool, is clearly ticked by Beedow’s attitude. Neither Joe nor Beedow handle themselves anything like a Dr. Seuss character would have in a similar situation.

Let’s hope that the cats’ owner does not leave these two home alone together because Beedow’s bellicose feelings toward our little Joe Cool just might result in more violence.

What happens when an adventurous cat enters and exits home via a window that is ajar just ever so slightly? Usually nothing, until today that is.

No one knows how it happened, and our embarrassed feline is not talking so we can only guess. This little girl lives in a second floor walk-up in a block of flats smack in the center of Bucharest, Romania.

Today she managed to get into trouble that she could not get herself out of.

Let’s join her during her struggles:

Thank the Lord for good Samaritans because without them this cat would be waiting until the boss got home. That is assuming that the cat lives in this apartment and was not interloping, something many a cat has been known to do.

This girl was obviously agitated that her privacy was left hanging out for all to see. Romanians apparently do not hesitate to butt into the affairs of others because there seemed to be no shortage of onlookers willing to record the event on their mobile phones.

This is one Romanian kitty whose most embarrassing moment has been preserved for posterity on the Internet. Ah, if only we were all so fortunate!

Two cats were busy being cats and doing what cats do in the Kızılsaray district of Antalya, Turkey, when one of them was accidentally struck by an automobile. That is normal everyday activity, but what happened next was most unusual and was caught on film by a passerby.

In the video the passerby shot you will see the male, white cat apparently trying to revive the female, black cat, his mate, and showing remarkable emotion for an animal.

Please watch:

Naturally people attempted to intervene and help the black cat, but the white cat put up a fuss and would allow no intervention. By the time a veterinarian eventually made it to the scene, the black cat had died.

Who knew that cats were able to show such human-like emotions and behavior, assuming that is what actually occurred here?

This is one smart kitty cat. On a scale of 1 – 10, this cat rates an eleven. I personally have never seen a cat that could do what this kitty does. Naturally, the cat uses its highly advanced intellect for illicit purposes–like stealing peanuts.

Have you ever seen a cat unscrew the cap off of a bottle? I haven’t. Incredible little kitty. Hopefully, someone can train this kitty to use its intellect for good rather than evil. Think of the possibilities–like a nomination for Vice President in 2012. The sky is the limit.

If you thought you saw a putty tat, you did see a putty tat. I used to do a lot more animal videos and somehow got away from it. But it wasn’t deliberate, so let’s try a few more.

These kitties are smart, resourceful, clever, and unpredictable. In the first video we look in on one very resourceful kitty, who knows how to get what she wants. Of course, we end up with a funny result. This is one thirsty little kitty cat. Let’s see how she quenches her thirst:

You will have to admit that we have one smart little kitty here. She was not short changed when they handed out the brains in her family.

*****

Despite being bigger than his opponent, our next feline is a little on the cautious side and wants to make certain that he doesn’t get into something he can’t handle. So he sort of feels his way into a disagreement. Once he is sure, he…well, see for yourself:

I think it did not turn out quite the way he expected despite all of his calculations prior to making his move. That’s life as a cat, kiddo.

Most cats hate the water, but this kitty proves that the term “most cats” does not mean all cats. This one gets an “A” for the cuteness factor, so get ready to get cuted out.

Reading about how cold it gets in Antarctica does not do justice to the way conditions really are way down south. So, here is an up-close look at Antarctic weather.

I live in Minnesota, which is probably the second coldest state in the US after Alaska, and this video scares me too even though I have experienced -34 degrees Fahrenheit (about -37 degrees Celsius) (actual temperature, not wind chill).

AC_FL_Run_BM(“14444”);

I feel colder just watching the vid. Does anyone have an extra blanket?

This kitty just loves a spanking. I guess that makes this video puddy tat S&M?

The theme today is being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the above feline has most definitely hit both wrongs directly on the nose. This is either one remarkably brave cat, one very stupid one, or one very unlucky one.

Our location is probably an obedience school where these pups’ ability to obey their masters’ commands regardless of the temptation to do otherwise is being tested. If only one of those German shepherds loses it, however, they will all lose it, and our poor little kitty is toast.

Yes, Hans, you did see a puddy tat. The begging question is: can you ignore it? Several of the Fidos have that look in their eye, as in “Hey, there’s dinner. Let‘s eat.”

The real question here is how many cats do they lose when the dogs’ obedience is being put to the test? Because this kitty will most certainly need all nine of its lives.

Okay, perhaps the most dangerous part of skydiving is not necessarily whether or not the chute opens.

If this skydiving enthusiast survives this encounter with nature, will he retain his enthusiasm about jumping again? This may be his supreme test about whether he continues to participate in the sport he loves.

I know what you are thinking. It’s a Photoshop moment. If it is, then it is a very good one. Notice the parachutist’s reflection in the water. It is a much less defined reflection and is right where it should be.

This photo looks plenty real to me, and I do not believe that those crocs are going through obedience school training either.

That leaves pilot error or else we have one very gutsy skydiver. Regardless, you could not pay me enough to be in this guy’s chutes right now.

The only way our man can get out of this situation is if someone is standing behind the scenes with a boat or air lift ready to rescue our danger junkie at the last moment.

*****

The term “freak accident” may be a euphemism here. This is just plain weird. The death of Od is truly quite odd. I think everyone wanted to say that so I just got it out of the way.

Have you ever swallowed a gnat on a humid summer evening? This situation is something like that, except on a much grander scale.

My question is “Did Od have to die.” Why couldn’t they have immediately shot Hilda the hippo and gutted her? Od would have been in her belly only a couple of minutes if they had acted right away.

It is because Hilda was probably worth more to the circus than Od was. Once again, money is the determining factor about who lives and who dies.

The following video contains animal bloopers of a far less dire nature.

Young man, ten years from now, the ladies will not be able to keep their hands off of you. Actually, make that six years. Kids start younger these days.

Actually, this young boy is sitting on a fountain and diverting its flow. Did the photo fool you?

*****

Man overboa…wait. It’s kitty overboard!

I am guessing that none of the occupants of this raft bargained for this type of ride-especially the cat. The young lady in the middle looks like she will not be far behind the feline, whose departing thoughts were probably, “you dropped the poop.”

For those not in the know, “you dropped the poop” is a phrase that seems to be taking over the Internet. It means that you messed up, or “oh, sh…t .”

*****

“Mom, is that your butt?”

This kid is in for a heck of a letdown in ten or twelve years. After having been exposed to a butt like this in his youth, his level of expectations once he is a teenager is bound to be completely unrealistic .

If this kid ends up wanting a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad, he will probably be going to wait a long time. Cause there ain’t that many out there like that.

If you liked these funny photos, we have more just like these. Give them a try.

Ellen DeGeneres had an emotional public meltdown on her talk show over giving away her dog, Iggy, to her hairdresser. Ellen appeared on her talk show crying about the issue because she apparently gave the dog away illegally.Ellen and her partner, actress Portia De Rossi, adopted Iggy on September 20th from Mutts and Moms, a pet rescue agency. Her adoption agreement required her to return the dog to the agency if she did not want to keep it. Instead, when Iggy did not get along with Ellen’s cats, she violated her agreement with the pet agency when she gave the dog away.

After the agency enforced its requirement to return the dog to the agency, taking the dog back from the hairdresser and her children, Ellen’s emotional crying fit on her talk show put public pressure on the pet agency to relent in its actions.

Talk about strange bedfellows. These two unlikely pals reside in Goangdong Province, China, and have been virtually inseparable since the pigeon pretty much adopted the macaque monkey when he was only 12 weeks old. It seems that the macaque was abandoned by his mum, who preferred to party the night away rather than care for her babies. (Are you paying attention Britney?)

After he was abandoned, the monkey was near death. He was taken to an animal hospital and nursed back to physical health. However, from an emotional standpoint, he had little spirit, was clearly depressed and displayed little love for life.

Then the pigeon took the monkey under its wing, showing him the kind of love and affection that is ordinarily expressed only from a devoted parent to its offspring. The result is the loving relationship that clearly shines through in this photo.

Don’t you just love a happy ending?

Of course, it is rumored that the abandoning mother, who reportedly hates all things that end well, has hired an attorney and is now seeking to regain custody of her baby.

There is a rather familiar ring to this story, isn’t there? I wonder if the pigeon’s name is Kevin?

The dog eared photo needs little explanation. Looks like another tough guy throwing her weight around. That’s right! The tough looking German is a female.

Amazing kitty cat video bloopers. Cats can be very cute and funny at the same time, and these cats were caught in the act of being both. If you have ever owned a cat, you know that they can do some very strange things. Here are some real life examples caught on film.

When their taxicab arrives and the couple exit the house, the cat sneaks back in.

As Tom returns inside the house to chase the cat back out, Mary is concerned about the taxi driver knowing that the house will be empty. So she explains to the driver, “My husband just went back inside to say goodbye to his mother-in-law.”

After several minutes, an exhausted Tom climbs into the back of the taxi saying, “I am sorry I took so long, but the stupid idiot was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her with a coat hanger several times before I could get her to come out!”
